Assassin's Creed: Shadows,[1] known as Assassin's Creed: Codename Red during development, is an upcoming installment in the Assassin's Creed series, being a part of the Assassin's Creed: Infinity platform. The game is set in Japan and will be helmed by Ubisoft Quebec.[2]

Gameplay

According to the series' Vice President Executive Producer Marc-Alexis Côté, Codename Red will take place in Feudal Japan and allow players to experience a "very powerful shinobi fantasy".[3] It will also return to the newer style Action RPG style games.[4]

Development

The game's conceptual title was first leaked on 6 September 2022 and reported by Bloomberg, who also noted that this game, as well as Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe, will likely not release until 2024 at the earliest.[2] It was later confirmed at the Ubisoft Forward livestream during its Assassin's Creed showcase, alongside a short teaser.[4] On 21 October 2023, a little over a year after the working title leaked, writer Pierre Boudreau changed the banner image of his LinkedIn profile to a picture of a hooded woman on a red background with Animus coding on the edges and a white Assassin insignia stylized as if it were painted by inkbrush.[5]

Controversy

When Jonathan Dumont was announced to be working on the game, many Ubisoft employees refused to work with him and quit due to past allegations regarding abuse and sexual misconduct. Ubisoft responded by stating that it takes allegations seriously and that Dumont has been disciplined and cleared to continue working.[6]
